    I'm eagerly anticipating Povetkin-Klitschko on Saturday. For me, Wladimir Klitschko's fights are what the Superbowl is to an avid football fan.

    I'm curious about two things: Will most people who post here be watching on Saturday? Who will most people be rooting for?

    So I've made a poll to answer both questions.

    Both are Olympic Gold medal winners at super heavyweight, Wlad in 1996 and Sasha in 2004.

    This will be the first time two former super heavyweight Olympic Gold medal winners meet in the ring.

    I'm absolutely going to watch Klitschko/Povetkin and I'm probably going to be cheering for the upset, though I seriously doubt it'll happen. The division needs to be shaken up a bit, IMO.

    ummmm...

    Povetkin by Brutal KnockOut!!!

    it'll be worse than when Corrie Sanders got the call for the Wlad fight and
    he had to put down his golf-club and fly to Germany from South Africa to
    smack Waldo around the ring like a rag-doll and take his WBO strap...

    noone thought it could happen but it did...

    If I get the chance to, might be in training, but if not then without a doubt.

    Will be rooting for Wlad 100%, as always.

    Going to South Carolina for a friends' wedding. Won't be watching despite my usual boner over seeing the fight. I like both guys but I guess I'll be rooting for Povetkin while expecting a Klitschko mid/late stoppage.

    Povetkin off course, he´s much more exciting than Wladimir. Hope he can pull off the upset.

    I don't like it when one guy dominates for too long so Povetikin

    I have a feeling one or both will hit the canvas in this fight.
